What is twitter?
A place you type in short messages (tweets) for the world to read.

Who reads these tweets?
Anyone can read them.

I want an account. I have no time?
It takes just 2 minutes to create an account. I just timed an account creation. Go to www.twitter.com now.

People love my amazing life. So now what?
Well people who are interested in what you say can become your “followers”. These followers can automatically see your tweets on their homepage. This is very similar to Facebook buddies updates appearing in your home page.

Can I link other social networking media?
You can link your Facebook account and blog to twitter. New tweets will then appear in your Facebook and blog.

Is this useful? Am i wasting my time?
Sometimes you could spend a lot of time going through aimless tweets. Just like you could surf the internet aimlessly. But it’s a great way to keep your friends updated about your life.

Many companies like Google, Microsoft etc use this medium to directly interact with their users.

Thanks for the write-up. Can we follow you on twitter?
Sure. This is me.

By the way. What do you use to send tweets?
I use launchy, the simplest way to post tweets to my account. I also send tweets from mobile.
